Description in text form
Better Screens
Vanilla book editing, viewing and signing screens have been replaced with new, completely redesigned ones, which add many new features and improvements:
- View and edit two pages at once (almost like a real book!)
- Formatting and other editing tools
- Editing books on a Lectern
- Custom book author
- and more...
Formatting
No more struggles with § symbols, just select the text you want to format and the formatting toolbar will show up - Easy application with mouse or keyboard shortcuts - Uses vanilla system under the hood
Import / Export
Text from Writable and Written books can be saved to a file and loaded from it - Exported as human-readable .txt - Formatting is preserved by default, can be excluded if desired
Colorful Books
Books can be dyed into any color, like a leather armor - Color is shown on the item, in GUIs, on a Lectern and on a Chiseled Bookshelf
Block Tooltips
Looking at a Lectern or a Chiseled Bookshelf slot will show a tooltip with the book item stored on it
Reading
Fancy animation for players using a book in hand - Book and Quill makes it a writing animation instead, adding a feather to the hand
Literate Mobs
With a 5% chance, Zombies, Husks and Skeletons will spawn holding a Book and they will read it occasionally - Book has a 50% chance to drop when the mob dies
